Please join us in congratulating Attorney-Partner Blaire McClanahan of The Law Offices of Cheryl David in Greensboro, NC, who has been named a 2025 "On The Rise – Top 40 Young Lawyer" by the American Bar Association!

This national recognition is awarded to just 40 attorneys across the U.S. who demonstrate exceptional achievement, leadership, and service in the legal profession.

“Her work ethic, empathy for clients, and ability to translate complex estate and elder law issues into clear guidance for families are true gifts,” said Cheryl David, the firm’s Founder. “This ABA recognition confirms what we get to see every day: Blaire is a force for good...”

Licensed in NC since 2015, McClanahan has not only become a Managing Partner at her firm, but is also a Super Lawyers® Rising Star and a trusted advocate in her field.

As the Greensboro Bar Association concludes its 2024-2025 term, we take a moment to honor the exceptional service of our outgoing President, Manisha P. Patel.

Manisha has redefined what it means to be a leader. With unparalleled dedication, vision, and grace, she guided the GBA through a period of growth and innovation. Her leadership made even the heaviest tasks feel lighter, not by doing less, but by stepping in to ensure every detail was handled with precision.

Her deep understanding of the organization — from bylaws to long-term strategy — gave the GBA the structure needed to thrive. Manisha’s meticulous planning and empowering leadership allowed ideas to flourish, turning visionary initiatives into reality.

Beyond strategy, she elevated our programs, bringing in remarkable speakers like a sitting NC Supreme Court Justice and enriching the experiences of our members.

Above all, Manisha led with heart, fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence that will leave a lasting impact.

The GBA extends its deepest gratitude to Manisha P. Patel for her transformational leadership. We are incredibly proud of all she has accomplished and grateful to have had her at the helm.
